NOTE:
The connecting of Mary Louisa Gittens to these parents is an assumption based on the fact that there were three nieces listed in the will of Susan Gittens. One of these nieces was the daughter of Benjamin and Mary Elizabeth Seale. The asumption is that the other two, Mary Louisa Gittens and Florence Alleyne Gittens are also children of Benjamin and Mary Elizabeth Seale |
